The organ’s internal reverb also affects the input signals reaching the [INPUT] connectors
on the rear panel and underneath the manuals.
ORGAN VERSION EQUIPPED WITH AFC REVERB UNIT
The AFC (Active Field Control) unit developed by the Yamaha Corporation is an innovative reverb
system which uses the latest electro-acoustic technologies to make the characteristics of the reverb
effect, such as the strength, spaciousness and reflection of the sound, as effective and natural as
possible.
In order to generate the reverb, the AFC monitors the acoustic response of the building where the
organ is installed and adapts the effect’s characteristics accordingly. Thanks to this, the organ can
be used in large buildings without the undesirable effects this type of context may cause, or on the
other hand it can be placed in a very small room and used to produce exactly the same reverb as in
a large concert hall.
In versions of the organ equipped with the AFC system, as well as selecting the reverb type you
may also adjust the balance between the internal and AFC reverbs. The video page displayed is as
follows:
REVERBERATION type: Cathedral
Normal/AFC Balance:40/60 AFC ON
The NORMAL/AFC BALANCE parameter regulates the balance between the two types of reverb,
while the field on the right displays the current status of the AFC system, as follows:
- AFC ON: AFC system active
- AFC BUSY: the AFC system is at work and processing data. The reverb is not currently available.
Wait for “AFC ON” to appear on the screen.
- AFC OFF: AFC system deactivated.
Once you have made all the settings you require, press [EXIT] to return to display of the SET-UP
menu and save the new settings.
